feat: add easter-egg news ticker to Gradio UI

Press 'e' key in the app to toggle a live news ticker overlay that slides
up from the bottom. Press 'e' again to hide. The ticker shows headlines
from major news sources and scrolls continuously. Won't trigger while
typing in input fields.

- Fixed position overlay with gradient background
- Smooth CSS animations (translateY + scroll)
- Global keydown listener with input guard
- Matches the browser-only webagent ticker design
